There’s a new study out that says the red team beats the blue team when it comes to online multiplayer games. I’m not making this up. This is in the Associated Press.

Apparently, some folks at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark had time to analyze “1,347 matchups between elite teams playing Unreal Tournament 2004,” the story says.

If you look at these through a political perspective, these becomes obvious. I mean come on. Red vs. Blue? Republicans vs. Democrats? When it comes to online gaming, the party of the NRA, hunting and gun-toting crazies obviously have an advantage. They’ve fired rifles before. Meanwhile, the blue (Democratic) team, eh, not so much experience with guns.

Now, you can add role playing game to the list. The ubiquitous hedgehog will star in his own RPG, but before you balk at it, know this: It’s being made by Bioware.

Does that change your mind? It should at least give you pause because the developer synonymous with well-made RPGs may have a big challenge at hand, converting the action-inspired Sonic universe to a slower-paced role-playing one.

But if anyone can do it, it’s Bioware. This is the team that made the best Star Wars game of the decade.
